-As defined in our documentation glossary, a Taxonomy in AtoM is “a grouping of controlled-vocabulary terms used to generate value lists and access points.” Throughout ICA-AtoM, [[Glossary#Controlled vocabulary|controlled vocabularies]] are used to generate [[Glossary#Drop-down menu|drop-down menus]]. These provide [[Glossary#Value list|value lists]] that restrict data entry in certain [[Glossary#Field|fields]] to certain values. A value list is defined in our glossary as restricting “data entry in certain fields to controlled vocabulary terms or terms derived from authority records. They appear as drop-down menus in edit pages.”  ICA-AtoM typically stores these values as [[Glossary#Term|term]] records in the database, and assigns them to [[Glossary#Taxonomy|taxonomies]], e.g. the type of entity [[Glossary#Field|field]] of an [[Glossary#Authority record|authority record]] can take only one of "corporate body, person, family." Each of these values is a [[Glossary#Term|term]] assigned to the actor entity types [[Glossary#Taxonomy|taxonomy]]. All controlled vocabularies are managed via taxonomies in AtoM, accessible to authorized users via the Manage > Taxonomies menu

 ICA-AtoM ships with a fixed number of [[Glossary#Taxonomy|taxonomies]] containing default values ([[Glossary#Term|terms]]). Some [[Glossary#Term|terms]] are locked, i.e. cannot be edited or deleted, because they are used by the application's underlying code. Most [[Glossary#Term|terms]], however, can be edited or deleted, and all [[Glossary#Taxonomy|taxonomies]] can be assigned new [[Glossary#Term|terms]] in addition to any locked values.
